Teddy Atlas Thinks He Knows Why Mike Tyson Bit Evander Holyfield's Ear.

Nearly three decades later, the boxing world still remembers about when Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear in their match. This shocking moment unfolded in June 1997 during a much-anticipated rematch, following Holyfield's victory over Tyson seven months earlier, where he claimed the WBA heavyweight title by stopping Tyson in the 11th round. In a surprising turn of events, the rematch was cut short in the third round when 'Iron Mike' lost his composure and took a bite out of Holyfield’s ear, leading to his disqualification. The Nevada State Athletic Commission responded by revoking Tyson’s boxing license and imposing a hefty fine of three million dollars because of his outburst. However, he was able to have his license reinstated after appealing the decision. Teddy Atlas, a renowned boxing trainer and analyst who worked with Tyson during the formative years of his career, has a unique perspective on what might have motivated Tyson during that infamous fight.

Image by Luca Bravo from Unsplash For a long time, Google Inc was the undisputed leader in AI research in the world. Then all of a sudden OpenAI and other companies sprang up and actually started to give Google some serious competition. Now it seems that AI is where the future is going, companies are investing billions of dollars into this. Though a lot of industry experts warn that AI is overhyped. It seems Google is committing itself to be a leader at AI again. In a leaked audio obtained by CNBC from a December 18 strategy meeting, Google Ceo Sunder Pichai was overheard in a leaked audio talking about this. I think 2025 will be critical -- Sunder Pichai “I think it’s really important we internalize the urgency of this moment and need to move faster as a company. The stakes are high.” Pichai acknowledged that the company has some catching up to do on the AI side — he described the Gemini app (based on the company’s AI model of the same name) as having “strong momentum,” while also ack...

How Tall is Hugh Jackman Really?

Image
T here are many good-looking actors in Hollywood, but Hugh Jackman stands heads and shoulders above most of them, not only because he is a gentleman and acts well -- but because he is tall. Now most of the online sources list Hugh Jackman's height as 6 feet 2 inches (188 cm), but some sources (even Wikipedia) even go as high as 6 feet 3 inches (190.5 cm). Is that correct? Here is what Hugh himself has to say about his height: The problem is my height. I am 6 feet 2 inches tall and lean but in the books [Wolverine is] 5 feet 3 inches and stocky...James Marsden, who played Cyclops, who is only 10 cm shorter than me, was put on boxes and platforms in our scenes together. You'll notice that every character in X-Men looked taller than me. From what we have seen of Hugh, we think he was really 6 feet 2 inches tall in his prime. He certainly looked around 2 inches taller than someone like Christian Bale who is around 6 feet tall (183 cm). But why do we say "in his prime". Be...

Angelina Jolie's Height: A Tale of Grace and Grandeur

Image
Every day we choose who we are by how we define ourselves. ~ Angelina Jolie Angelina Jolie is a woman of many talents - actress, director, humanitarian, and loving mother of six. She is also a woman of striking beauty, with her piercing blue eyes, full lips, and captivating aura. But what is perhaps most striking about Angelina Jolie is her height. She is not that tall at nearly 5 feet 7 inches (a few authoritative sources report her height to be an exact 5'6½") but she still she gives the impression of having an excellent height. Angelina Jolie: an angel on earth Height has been both a blessing and a curse for tall actresses. On the one hand, it has given them an undeniable presence on screen. Their tall, slender frame is often used to great effect in her films, whether they are playing a powerful action heroine or a delicate damsel in distress. On the other hand, height has also made tall actresses the target of some negative attention. Some critics have accused tall actress...

Can a woman beat a man in a fight?

Can a woman beat a man in a fight? Well, there would be many variables in play but the simple answer is yes, a woman can certainly beat a man in a fight - but not without some serious skill and practice. Typically, women are a lot smaller and weaker than men, here is the size difference between men and women. On average, men are around 5 inches taller and 21% heavier than women. However, the even bigger advantage to men is their testosterone-fueled muscular strength in the upper body. This same hormone also gives them their aggressive nature -  which is normally an advantage in a fight* [see below for more]. You see the difference is simply huge. But don’t feel discouraged just yet. Women are beaten by men and vice versa for ages unknown. There are many documented cases of it, like MMA fighter Polyana Viana subduing a mugger. You can even find countless videos of women beating men on YouTube. Some of them are intense and very real. The size difference does not mean a woman cannot d...

Why Deadlift isn't Worth it

People often rave about deadlifting. About how it is one of the "core" exercises and how it is great for building "core" strength and other things like that. We simply don’t agree with this. The deadlift is another exercise like many others with its pros and cons, however, in this exercise, the cons are far greater than the pros, which makes this exercise not worth it - the risk is simply too great. The deadlift isn't worth it Deadlift simply isn't worth it The risk of back injury. Your back is your best friend when it comes to physical agility. It is a marvel of nature, it is more precious than your teeth - so you should treat it better than doing a deadlift with it. The risk of back injury is far too great in deadlifts. Often you would see gym trainers pushing people for doing deadlifts, with wearing a belt. Our question is why wear the belt? The answer is for the prevention of hernia-related injuries. This brings another question to mind - is there any re...

Is Wrestling the Greatest Sport Ever

People often talk about which is the greatest sport in the world? Well, there are quite a few ones to choose from, let us look at them. Football? People running around, hitting a ball with their feet. In American football, People run around throwing a ball and getting tackled in the process. Cricket! Don’t even get us started. Guys throwing a ball at sticks, meanwhile another guy has to use a bat to hit it as hard as possible. All of them are team sports and all of them suck. You may be wondering why? Well, let us just say that playing these games will only serve one purpose – which is entertaining yourself (if you are not talented enough to earn money from them). These games will not be of any real use in real life to you. You will gain no real skill by participating in these sports. However, you will need equipment to play them - for your own safety. You will need lots of people and a piece of real estate. The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing. -Marcus Aurelius Now co...

Bodybuilding vs. Martial Arts? Which is Better For You?

If you want to pick one of them and train, you will have to first decide what you want to achieve with them. Do you want your body to look good and tough or do you want to be actually tough and be able to defend yourself in a sticky situation? mixed martial artist vs bodybuilder First thing you should know is that a bodybuilder will never win against a martial artist; (unless the physical difference between them is too big) no matter how lethal or big they look. Some people see a bodybuilder and automatically assume that they must be very tough but the truth is that being a bodybuilder will not teach you how to use your body in a fight – that’s a different art altogether – it is called martial arts. Bodybuilders may look tough and yes, they are strong, but that does not make them good in a real physical confrontation. The reason for this is that most bodybuilders, who have developed their muscles in a gym, lack functional strength because of the nature of the weight machines. Free weig...

Height Difference Between Men and Women

What is the height difference between men and women? On average, men are taller than women, yes everyone knows that. But do you know exactly how much? The difference is five inches. Yes, on average, men are roughly five inches taller than women. However, an individual male can be much taller than an individual female or vice versa. By the way, men in the US have an average height of 5’9.5” and women 5’4”. You may be wondering why this difference is more than five inches. There are two reasons for that. One, that tall people have slightly more height difference than five inches, like very short people have slightly less difference than five inches. And the other, well the thing is that, females in the US or any other part of the world live longer than males, and as you may already know that people lose height as they get older, and that’s where the difference kicks in. That’s why females on average comes out a bit shorter than they should, because they are on average more senior than me...

Is It Possible to Increase Height After 21?

Is it possible to increase height after 21? This is a much-asked question or its other variation: Is it possible to grow taller after 25? Some people even search for: Can I increase my height after 30? Height growth after 30? really? That's like taking the whole wishful thinking to another level. The long and short answer to all these questions is a big no. No sir, you cannot increase your height once you have finished your natural growth around the age of 19 - the average age when males usually stop growing. Though they can stop growing as young as 17 or continue growing up to 21. Females usually reach their full adult height by the time they are 15 - and they don't complain about their height this much! There are many ads on the internet, many videos on YouTube, and many articles on shady websites, which claim that you can increase your height by taking this, eating that, stretching your spine, or doing some other such nonsense. People are wishful thinkers - scammers have kno...

Strength Difference Between Men and Women

Men are stronger than women - that's universal knowledge. There are exceptions to this rule but generally, this holds pretty well. Why is it so that men are stronger than women though? Or how much stronger are they exactly? Have you ever wondered about that? Of course, you have, that's why you are here. Becca Swanson and Eddie Hall - two people who hold the deadlift record in female and male divisions respectively Men are not only stronger, but they are also, in general, bigger than women are, they are around five inches taller and weigh about 21.3% more (though this varies from region to region, the difference in the United States is 14%). Size gives the advantage in strength. If this was not enough men also have lower body fat (on average, 18% to 24% for males, 25% to 31% for females) and higher muscle ratio (more muscle mass, especially in the upper body). They also have higher lung capacity because they need more oxygen delivered to the muscles (body fat do not need oxygen)...

Should You Stop Reading After Age Certain Age

Almost everyone advises us that reading is good for us and that we should read as much as we can. But Albert Einstein was not one of them. Here is what he had to say about reading after a certain age: Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. -Albert Einstein What comes into your mind after reading that. If you are anything like me you would be shocked because reading, for many of us is sacred, it cannot be questioned. But after reading that quote, from a true genius – it made me think, is this really true. After some time I have come to the conclusion that Einstein was right after all (no surprise there), reading after a certain age does divert the mind too much from its creative processes but as does most of the things today that were not in Einstein's age, like a video game, social media on the internet, internet itself. Creative people are b...

MMA vs. Boxing Popularity?

There was a time when mixed martial art was viewed as nothing more than backstreet human cockfighting. Well, it is still viewed as that by some, most often by the older population who view boxing as the gentleman's own game but somehow MMA just seems too barbaric to them. Most of these people aren't aware that MMA is actually safer than boxing. Boxing is a sport where the chance of getting head trauma is the largest and inevitable. MMA has those things too but less than boxing. Time has changed quite a bit since MMA first appeared on the scene. People are becoming aware of it as a sport and many are taking an interest in it. But boxing remains an elephant in the room since, at least one boxer, Floyd Mayweather can generate millions of pay per views. Yet the popularity of a sport cannot be measured solely by its biggest, once-in-a-decade event. There are many other criteria, like how many people are aware of the sport, and how many people enjoy watching it? Therefore, even if a ...

How Tall will Humans Get?

The average height of adult human males around the world is 5’8” (172.5 cm) and females around 5’2.5” (159 cm), though people in developed countries are a good deal taller than that. The average height of an American male is around 5’9.25” or 176 cm and females 5’4” (162.5 cm), though Americans are kind of underdog when it comes to height in developed countries, with the majority of the population comprised of European origin. Canadians are taller, and so are Australians but when it comes to height, nobody comes close to Dutch (except some people of south Sudan, but that’s a special case). The average Dutch male is around 5’11.25” (181 cm) tall and the female around 5’6” (168 cm) – compare this to people in India or China where the average height is respectively 5’5.5” (166 cm) and 5’6.5” (169 cm) for males. This makes us ask the question of why there is such variation in human height around the world. One thing that might surprise you is that people in developed countries were not so ...
